Nope, never heard of achocha or Fat Baby. I like the sound of "staggering yields" even outside though so some seeds will be on the list for next year to try.

Ridiculously easy to grow, these pretty green plants come into their own when fried, sautéed or baked, says James Wong

Just dug the first spud plant. First time we have tried them and considering the spuds I planted were just old shooting spuds from last winter that I was going to lob, we had a good showing of 14 mid size new spuds.

Will try them again next year.

Always grow charlotte ones

[Paul in the woods]

I always go back to Sharpe's Express as a 1st early. Very reliable and tasty, seems disease free for us and we've been eating them since the start of June.

No idea what these are but they look like largish new potatoes and are unblemished.....apart from the one I stuck the fork through

[Stere]

Have a antique "potato fork" with wider tines still stab them though

[Conor Wright]

I must admit to a moment of sheer laziness last year when I used the digger and riddle bucket to dig our modest plot of main crops, surprisingly few damaged spuds in the end. I may even do the same this year! 

It appears a few slipped through the tines though, following a bit of reorganising of the veggie garden over winter we now have a bed of onions... and spuds, carrots and... spuds, brassicas and yeah more spuds, strawberries and, yeah you get it..
